2025 Reader Favorites: The Top 25

25. Flip 7

This game was one of the most-played games in our house this year. It’s so quick and easy to learn, it can be played with tons of people, and it’s so fun!

24. Bissell Steam Shot Portable Steam Cleaner

I ordered this guy on a whim earlier this year because I love a steam cleaner but only had a giant one. This little handheld steamer is so great – I use it for the shower, to clean grout, and just about anything else. It’s so affordable and easy to use!

23. Reusable Chore Chart

I’ve been using this chore chart for years and we love it so much. Our kids use them all summer long to keep track of chores they need to tackle before screen time, and we often use them for regular chores during the year. So many of you have tried them out and they’re so handy to have.

22. Fairy Lights

I loved seeing these in the top 25 because they’re so specific to Christmas – it shows you how popular they are! We have these all over our house this time of year and I love when they turn on every night. They’re such a cheap way to add some sparkle!

21. Lazy Susan Organizers

I have several of these and I use them in my pantry and fridge to help organize our food. They are so useful for just about everything and I love that they’ve been useful for y’all too!

20. Gorilla Rug Grip Pads

I discovered these when I was dealing with a particularly slippery rug and I couldn’t get it to stay in place, even with my usual rug grippers. I have been so impressed with them and use them all over my house now!

19. Food Storage Lid Organizer

This is one I was surprised to see in the top 25 because I actually haven’t talked about it in a long time! I used this food storage lid organizer in our last house to help keep our tupperware cabinet under control. It works really well!

18. Fresh Wave Odor Removing Gel

I can’t tell you how much I love this stuff. It does a fantastic job of eliminating odors in the bathroom and I always have one in our kids’ bathroom. Especially now that it’s the bathroom guests have to use!

17. Table Topics Conversation Cards

My kids love these things so much. Most nights while we’re gathered around the dinner table we grab a card to spark conversation, and it’s always so much fun. They’re great to keep in the car, too!

16. Fidget Toys – Magnets

My best friend texted me that she had bought these as a stocking stuffer for her kids and they discovered them early. She said they were obsessed so I knew I had to get some for my kids’ stockings too! They’re super fun to play with and if you ask me you can’t have too many fidgets around the house.

15. The Ordinary Salicylic Acid

I’ve been using this stuff for years and it’s one of my favorite ride or die products for my skin. I have really worked hard on my skincare routine over the last few years, and this was one of the first products I discovered that really works for me.

14. Watco Clear Lacquer

I’ve used this sealer for years on so many of my products, and I think I’ve just linked it enough over the years that y’all know it’s the best! It’s really thick and durable, it’s easy to use, and it looks great every single time.

13. Recessed Power Strip

I used this guy for my sofa table I built at the last house, and it was one of my favorite features! I was so excited by how easy it was to use, and it worked great. I love knowing that many of you are trying out the sofa table, too!

12. Kanoodle

This is SUCH a great little puzzle game to have in the house. It’s fun for kids, it’s fun for adults, and it’s more than a little addicting.

11. Double-Sided Sensory Board

I grabbed one of these to keep in our car when Grant was having to wait with me to pick up his big brother at school every day. It’s SO fun and I heard from so many of you who raved about how much your kids love it too.

10. Color Wow Anti-Frizz Spray

And now we’re in the top 10! This spray is my favorite, probably the only absolute must-have hair product that I will always have in my bathroom.

9. Shoe Storage Rack

I grabbed this on a whim when we moved and I got tired of shoes all over my closet floor. It was an instant hit – it holds so many shoes and is so affordable!

8. ELF Setting Powder

I started using this setting powder over the summer when I didn’t want a full face of makeup but wanted to feel put together. It’s really easy to use and works so well.

7. Wooster Paintbrush

My favorite paintbrush of all time! This is the only paintbrush I’ll use for things like cutting in when I’m painting rooms and it has been my go-to for years and years.

6. Vanicream Face Cleanser

I can’t possibly rave about this stuff enough. I discovered it in 2022 when I was having a really bad skin reaction to something else I was using. My dermatologist recommend it and I’m so grateful. It has cleared up all my skin issues and I love that it’s affordable too!

5. Caldrea Countertop Spray

This has been my absolute favorite countertop spray for about a decade now. It smells incredible, it works great, and it makes cleaning the kitchen so much more enjoyable.

4. Faux Mums

These faux mums are gorgeous and look great on my porch all fall long. I’ve used them for several seasons now and they have held up beautifully – can’t recommend them enough!

3. 2-Tier Baskets

I think I have 7 sets of these are this point. I use them all over my house and they are so great for keeping everything organized. They’re easy to use, hold a ton of things, and are easily my favorite organizational product.

2. Puzzle Framing Supplies

I combined all of these into one, but there are three separate items here that are all super popular!

• Mod Podge Puzzle Saver
• Puzzle Frame
• Peel & Stick Puzzle Saver

1. Paintable Outlet Covers

And the number one product is one I knew would be the number one. I wrote a whole blog post about how much I love them! These are an absolute must-have for me! It’s worth noting these non-paintable ones are also super popular for those of us with almond outlets that you don’t want to replace.
